Title
A fashionable information for ladies in the country
Description
English: A lady stands full-face, arms extended to display her striped dress which hangs straight from neck to ankles. The sleeves are full, reaching half-way between elbow and wrist. Two watches with seals hang from her neck, to indicate that the waist is at that place. She wears a turban (see BMSat 8755) trimmed with two feathers. Beneath the title: 'The present fashion is the most easy and graceful imaginable - it is simply this - The petticoat is tied round the neck and the arms put through the pocket-holes!!!' 9 December 1795

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942)

See BMSat 8757. This fashion temporarily modified the tendency to the increasing definition of the figure below clinging draperies, cf. BMSat 9457, &c.

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
